DESCRIPTION: \n\nɬÀï·¬'s third annual megagame\, DIRE STRAITS e
 xplores crisis stability in East and Southeast Asia in the context of an u
 npredictable Trump Administration\, growing Chinese strategic power\, and 
 multiple regional crises.\n\nHow will the region and the world deal with t
 he challenge of North Korean nuclear weapons? Will China consolidate its h
 old over the South China Sea? How might relations between Beijing and Taiw
 an develop if the latter decides to adopt a more independent path? And how
  will the White House—beset by scandal\, factional infighting\, and an ang
 ry\, unpredictable President—respond?\n\nDIRE STRAITS is a serious crisis 
 simulation designed by British game designer Jim Wallman\, and Rex Brynen 
 of ɬÀï·¬. A previous version of the game\, played by national 
 security professionals in the UK\, received international attention in thi
 s BBC News report.\n\nApproximately one hundred participants will assume t
 he roles of national decision-makers\, diplomats\, military commanders\, i
 ntelligence analysts\, international organizations\, journalists\, and oth
 ers.\n\nDIRE STRAITS is a non-profit activity cosponsored by PAXsims\, the
  ɬÀï·¬ Political Science Students Association\, and the East Asian Studie
 s Students' Association at ɬÀï·¬.\n\nTickets are available via Eventbrite
